Today, on Holocaust Remembrance Day, We Believe in Israel pauses to honour the memory of the six million Jews murdered in the Shoah, alongside millions of other victims of Nazi persecution. We remember the children and the elders, the scholars and the workers, the communities that were erased, and the worlds that were shattered. Their names are our charge. Their memory is our mandate.

The Holocaust was not only a crime against the Jewish people, but against the very notion of civilisation itself. It revealed the catastrophic consequences of unchecked antisemitism, state-sponsored hatred, and the silence of too many. The lessons of that abyss are not confined to the past. They live with us today, calling us to vigilance, to education, and to action.

As antisemitism once again rears its head across Europe and beyond—in our streets, in our universities, even in our parliaments—this day must not become a ritual of remembrance only, but a summons to moral clarity. The slogans may change, but the hatred wears a familiar face.

We Believe in Israel stands in steadfast solidarity with the Jewish people in Britain, in Israel, and across the world. We reaffirm our commitment to Holocaust education, to challenging distortion and denial, and to ensuring that the horrors of the past are never repeated. The State of Israel, born in the ashes of Auschwitz, remains a beacon of Jewish survival, sovereignty, and resilience. To defend Israel’s legitimacy is not separate from Holocaust remembrance—it is part of its enduring legacy.

We urge all individuals, institutions, and communities to mark this day with dignity, and to speak with one voice against antisemitism in all its forms. Silence is never neutral. Memory must be active.

Today, we remember. Tomorrow, we act.

We Remember. We Believe. We Stand.
